Message sent to senators who opposed gun bill

I want to publicly applaud New Jersey's U.S. senators, Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez, for voting "yes" for the changes to reform gun violence.

More than 90 percent of the American people wanted this (background checks for gun purchases), and I thank all those United States senators who also voted for this. To the ones who voted "no," starting with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, I sent the following:

"I was appalled, but not surprised, when I saw that you voted against the gun violence reforms. How could you do this when more than 90% of the American people wanted this change? I realize that I do not live in your fair state (my New Jersey senators voted yes), but I do think that you have presidential aspirations, and I (and many others) will remember this; that you did not care what the majority of the people wanted."
